Question about rebound effects from steroid cream.....

[Guest guest]

I am 34 years old. I was diagnosed with Squamous Hyperplasia about 1

year ago. My initial outbreak did subside with Clobetesol. About 6

months later I had another outbreak. My OBGYN put me back on

Clobetesol. I then became pregnant. He switched me to Triamcinolone

Acetonide 0.5% cream. I am now 5 months pregnant, so I have been on

these creams now for at least 6 months. At my last visit, I told him

that my condition is worsening. I asked him if I could be having

rebound effects. He told me that I needed to go back on the

Clobetesol, which I did not do. I don't like all of this medication,

especially during a pregnancy.

I have no fissures at this time, however I am RED, RED, RED. I am

sore and in only one area get itchy. It seems I can subside the itch

with a shower and Aveeno soap. Also, the redness has spread clear

out onto my thighs.

I think I am having rebound effects, but I am not sure exactly

what " rebound effects " are.

I have stopped the cream now for about three nights. My condition is

the same, not worse.

Should I see a Dermatologist? Help, please!!!!!

Thank you in advance!
